Time passed by at the fingertips, and in a blink of an eye it was the fifth day of August in the eighth year of the Xuan Li calendar.

Fu Xiaoguan has been in the back mountain of Xishan Mountain for three days and lived on the mountain.

The cement manufacturing equipment is ready, and today, the processing process will begin.

The waterfall poured down from the top of the mountain, roaring like thunder. Three huge water carts were framed under the waterfall, driving the three stone rollers to rotate slowly in circles.

"Ingredients!"

Fu Xiaoguan roared loudly, looking excited.

"Ingredients!"

The sounds kept coming and going, and many workers put the prepared gray stone and dried clay into the two grinding grooves. With the sound of clicking, the gray stone and clay was broken under the stone grinding.

The other grinding tank is filled with slag, which is relatively hard in texture and seems to be quite laborious. If it is replaced by an iron roller, it should be possible.

He can only use this simplest and most primitive method to deal with it. Of course, he does not know the more advanced mechanized treatment methods.

If more water trucks and rollers are added, the output should be able to supply the construction of Xishan Villa. As for road construction - he wants to build the road from Xishan to Linjiang into a cement road, but it seems that it is not that easy now. .

He has taught Feng Xi the entire process and proportion of cement. Now that the most difficult step of crushing has been completed, there is not much left for him to do next.

Looking at the waterfall and the waterwheel stone mill under the waterfall, as well as the factory sheds built around it and the two large kilns not far away, a smile appeared on his face.

As soon as this thing comes out, we can build the factories in Xishan immediately. Build soap and soap factory first, which is the easiest, and then the perfume factory, because the flowers have not bloomed yet, and because of Yu Zhongtan’s glazed utensils Not done yet.

The workers worked enthusiastically. Under Feng Xi's command, the ground powder was poured into a huge pit, and then water was poured into it. A large group of people started stirring it with wooden sticks in their hands.

"Stop!"

"I told the person pouring water to stop, you continue to stir."

Feng Xi is very nervous. This is the first time he has done such an important job. This is the young master's trust, so he must not mess it up.

He picked up the wooden stick, squeezed the mud on it with his hands, and shouted to the person next to him: "Da Dan, go get some wooden boards to put on top of this, the mixing is uneven, hurry up!"

A few wooden boards were placed on the pit, "Go up, twenty people go up, pour water, I will stop immediately if I tell you to stop!"

"Old Li Tou, start the kiln, don't make the fire too big!"

"Okay!"

A kiln was burning, and the smoke was like a pillar.

After a full hour, Feng Xi thought that the cement slurry in the pit should be enough.

"Go to the kiln!"

"Old Li Tou, don't get too angry. I'll call you later."

"Okay!"

The first batch of mud from the pit was poured into the kiln. After another hour, Feng Xicai yelled: "Old Li Tou, don't stop the fierce fire!"

……

Fu Xiaoguan stood watching from a distance. He didn't know whether it would work or not, because he didn't know how long it would take to burn it. He just told Feng Xi to boil it like water and then cool it down, and Feng Xi I went to see Old Li Tou again, who said it would take about five hours to burn.

Then burn it, burn it down and come back again. As long as the direction is right, don't be afraid of failure. This is what Fu Xiaoguan said to Feng Xi. Feng Xi doesn't want to fail.

So night fell, everyone had dinner and then got back to work.

Fu Xiaoguan did not turn on the small stove. He had been like this for the past three days, which left a good impression on the hearts of these hundreds of people.

"The young master is guarding such a precious body here, don't be lazy for me!"

"Everyone, work hard. The young master is watching and won't treat you badly!"

"..."

Actually, Fu Xiaoguan was really not used to these meals, but he couldn't bear to feel hungry. He could only recall that when he was on a mission, he had chewed the bark of wild vegetables and trees, so they became delicious.

My life has been too comfortable recently.

Thinking that it would take a long time to burn and cool down, Fu Xiaoguan returned to his room - this was a bit special. He was not used to having too many people crowded into the same bunk.

After sitting for a while and practicing the Nine Yang Heart Sutra, he fell asleep in this noisy environment.

As soon as it was dawn, I got up and moved around, and saw Feng Xi running over quickly, his eyes red.

Feng Xi's voice was very excited, "Master, look at it, is it like this?"

Fu Xiaoguan quickly took it and saw that the cement had solidified. He didn't know if it was cement, but at least the color looked similar.

"Grind this stuff into powder."

Feng Xi took a mallet and pounded the cement in the bucket into powder, "Let's go to the river."

Fu Xiaoguan took a gourd ladle and carefully mixed the water with it, stirred it, and then asked Feng Xi to get two bricks left over from the original kiln. He spread the cement on the bricks and stacked them together.

"If it dries later and the two bricks can stick together, it will be considered done. The stronger the better, just leave it alone for now."

Feng Xi guarded these two bricks like a gold mine for an hour.

Fu Xiaoguan came over and asked: "How is it?"

"I dare not move."

"Pick it up and take a look."

"How about you come, young master?"

"Stop talking nonsense and take a look."

Feng Xi stretched out his hand nervously, thinking silently in his heart, God bless you but you must stick to it!

He picked up the top brick, and then... the bottom brick didn't fall.

"It's done?"

"Let's take a look."

Feng Xi gently broke it apart, but there was no movement. He increased his strength, but it still didn't work. Then he used his strength, and the two bricks finally opened, "This..."

"Very good! Just do it like this. Of course, you have to record the time of each process during the process, and you can try various ratios in small quantities. Don't do what I say invariably. Learn to innovate, including these tools, remember?”

"I remember the young master!"

"After the burned cement dries, grind it into powder, pack it and send it to Xishan, that's it, work hard!"

"Okay!"

Fu Xiaoguan and Su Mo walked down the mountain, and behind them came Feng Xi's roar: "Brothers, it's done, we succeeded!..."

"You spend so much effort just to stick the bricks together?" Su Mo asked in confusion.

"Yeah, it's not easy."

“Isn’t rice milk okay?”

"Rice milk can only be used on a small scale. The amount I need is so large that you can't imagine it."

Su Mo thought about it and realized that this made sense.

Fu Xiaoguan suddenly asked: "Tell me, if I use this thing to build a city wall - based on bluestone, glued with this cement, and then coated with a layer of cement, will it be broken?"

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, "I don't know, but a broken city usually doesn't mean a broken wall."

"Well, I just asked casually."
